New to the Fight • USS Tripoli - Begins Night-Sorties over Iran - video Dailymotion

The Military Channel

The Midnight Arrival The arrival of the USS Tripoli in the Persian Gulf on March 27, 2026, marks a massive escalation in Operation Epic Fury. As the flagship of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, this ‘Lightning Carrier’ hasn’t wasted a moment. Within hours of entering CENTCOM’s area of responsibility, the Tripoli began launching its first Night-Sorties over the Iranian coast. These aren’t just patrols; they are high-stakes, suppressed-radar missions designed to dismantle the regime’s ‘A2/AD’ bubble. Flying from the Tripoli’s deck, F-35B Lightning IIs from the VMFA-121 ‘Green Knights’ are using the cover of darkness to map out mobile missile batteries and coastal defense nets. The goal is simple: blind the enemy before they even know the ‘Golden Fleet’ has arrived. #iranisraelwar #breakingnews #news  “The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) visual information does not imply or constitute DoD endorsement.”  Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
